With over 30 years experience, who better than Peter Collings to take you on an exciting exploratory tour of some of the worlds best shipwrecks? .Regarded by many as the leading expert on the subject, Peters book “Shipwrecks of the Egyptian Red Sea” has been described as a definitive work, but Peters endless search for new and undiscovered wrecks will surely produce an update covering the entire Egyptian coastline. (Due mid 2011) Peter will be leading no less than 20 escorted trips throughout the year, (although many are already full) sharing his knowledge and experience, providing 1st hand advice on wrecks, photography and marine life, and generally ensuring you get the most from your trip. Several of the trips will allocate time to search for some 20 new wrecks as far north as Ras Zafarana in the Gulf of Suez, utilizing the latest side scan units.
